What a great little video from The UK Plastics Pact members Itero! If you want a sneak peak into what they have been up to and their exciting plans for the future, then check them (and the video) out. I've been lucky enough to visit the the pilot pant to see how it works, so it's great to have a video that outlines a very technical process in an accessible way. Well done Simon Hansford, Abi Mountain, Lucinda Thurmer, Geoff Smith & the rest of the team! #chemicalrecycling #nonmechanicalrecycling #circulareconomy #plastics #plasticsrecycling

MCG in the Portuguese Decarbonization Roadmap for the National Automotive Sector 📢 Info of the week | Circular economy in vehicle production 👇 [content further down in this post]  MCG is one of 20 companies in the Portuguese Decarbonization Roadmap for the National Automotive Sector, a Mobinov and KPMG project. ➡ https://lnkd.in/dcQ96ReD The application of circular economy principles and solutions in the vehicle production process includes adopting sustainable practices such as material recycling, component reuse, sustainable vehicle design, modular production of components, and life cycle extension. of vehicles. By adopting these practices, the automotive industry can significantly reduce its carbon footprint and waste, contributing to a more holistic and sustainable approach aligned with the core principles of the circular economy. The development of the Decarbonization Roadmap for the National Automotive Sector takes these points into account to reduce the sector's impact on the environment and, at the same time, contribute to the adaptation and resilience to future climate challenges. - Portuguese Decarbonization Roadmap for the National Automotive Sector: Mobinov and 20 companies representing the automotive sector initiated a project to analyze and develop measures focused on reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. The project aims to help the automotive sector achieve carbon neutrality in 2050! A project supported by the PRR - Recovery and Resilience Plan, and the European Next Generation EU Funds. #MCG #MCGautomotive #Mobinov #automotiveindustry #MCG #MCGautomotive #Mobinov #ConstruiroFuturo #RecuperaçãoemAção

#ThrowbackThursday 🚗 Back in October, CLEPA’s Director of Technical Regulations Paolo Alburno, had the opportunity to represent CLEPA at the CASIC FORUM, where global automotive stakeholders gathered to discuss the internationalisation of automotive standards. It was an opportunity to shed light on CLEPA's commitment to the EU's #Fitfor55 initiative and the needed Life-Cycle-Assessment methodology for automotive components.    🌿 The Life-Cycle Carbon Footprint is a game-changer, providing a comprehensive approach to understanding and mitigating the true environment impact of automotive products.   #CASICForum #Fitfor55 #Sustainability #AutomotiveStandards #GreenMobility #Innovation #EnvironmentalResponsibility 

When we compared the HBC with more advanced energy-efficient boss caps currently in operation, we found that it to be at least 3% more efficient. Overall, compared to standard propeller boss caps, the HBC improved propeller efficiency by 3.1% and thrust by 1.1%, while reducing torque by 2%, rudder cavitation by 10%, and propeller induced noise by 1-3dB. We expect the HBC to be capable of delivering increases in propulsion efficiency of up to 5%, compared to conventional propeller boss caps. - Dr Batuhan Aktas, CEng, CEO of EcoMarine Innovations.

The automotive industry's transformation to electromobility is unavoidable to ensure that all new vehicles in the EU will be zero-emission by 2035. This will have far-reaching long-term consequences for the automotive aftermarket, resulting in challenges and opportunities for remanufacturing automotive components. On November 17, at the first Sustainability Day organized by the Forum on Automotive Aftermarket Sustainability (FAAS), I will talk about which components are particularly promising for remanufacturing and provide insights into our current research projects in the field of remanufacturing. Here you can find more information about the Sustainability Day and the FAAS, a collaborative endeavour initiated by CLEPA - European Association of Automotive Suppliers and FIGEFA: https://lnkd.in/ejqVAFFU I am looking forward to the discussions on remanufacturing on the Sustainability Day and the #FUTURMOTIVE. #CircularEconomy #Remanufacturing #Futurmotive

🌱 How can robotisation contribute to water usage reduction in the fruit industry? LEXEM, part of VINCI Energies, and MAITRE PRUNILLE, experts in dried fruits, joined forces to save water without compromising quality in their production. They installed a robotic fruit handling systems along with a water recycling mechanisms in prunes pitting processes. The results? A reduction by 30% to 40% of water consumed. 💧 Full customer story here ➡ https://lnkd.in/eRVznyNV

Our products, tools and processes help make our customers – and the world – more sustainable. PPG has been providing customers with innovative paints, coatings and specialty materials for more than 140 years. We collaborate closely with customers to ensure our products meet their performance expectations while delivering real-world sustainability benefits. 🍃♻️ One example is the PPG ENVIRO-PRIME™ EPIC300 line of electrocoat products, which cure at a lower temperature and require less process time than conventional electrocoat products. These features are especially valuable to manufacturers that produce electric vehicles, which require heavier metal supports, resulting in longer required coating cure times. Regardless of whether the model is electric or a traditional combustion engine, PPG Enviroprime products help automotive customers use less energy and produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions while improving the quality of their finished goods. 🚘 Read our 2023 sustainability report: https://lnkd.in/dnsHmsMX #AutomotiveCoatings #Sustainability

In an era where environmental impact data is not just valued but demanded, truck and trailer manufacturers find themselves at a pivotal juncture. The integration of environmental impact data into business operations is not just reshaping the industry; it's setting a new standard for innovation and customer expectations. A shift towards utilizing comprehensive Environmental Footprint Configuration (EFC) tools, like those developed by Tacton, is enabling manufacturers to meet these demands head-on. By providing detailed insights into the lifecycle of products and what climate impact they have, these tools empower customers to make informed decisions, fostering a new level of transparency and accountability in manufacturing.
